Longitudinal Experience in Ambulatory Practice

Longitudinal Experience in Ambulatory Practice (LEAP) provides resident education in community-based office practices to supplement the educational experience and expose the resident to the role of the family doctor in his or her practice community. Residents have the opportunity to practice primary care in an ambulatory environment that offers exposure to a variety of management styles, patient mixes, office procedures, and patient flow. Residents who are interested in LEAP are paired with community physicians who are willing to welcome a resident into their practice. The LEAP experience varies from year-to-year depending on resident interest and community physician availability.
